fifth investigation

[thecastle]

Many are on edge—this is a fact that no one would dare challenge. The motive had hit a lot of people harder than the one previous, and there are more than a few of you who would consider someone acting as a blessing more than anything. It still doesn't help in keeping thoughts of concern far away, as no one is eager about the thought of a comrade dying. Then, there is the reality that there would be the upcoming trial as well. However, in the end, nothing can be done to make any of this easy, and all of you must take whatever may come.

Now, who will be the first to venture outward into the halls? Undoubtedly, something must have occurred. It would be unfortunate if it didn't, no?

[ah............ ah. she really didn't want to touch the bodies—she'd spent a few moments trying to convince herself that they could be all right, something could be done for them; she's seen death but drowning is new enough that she can't recognize it as quickly. When Mahiro tells her to stay out of the way, she steps aside, a little grateful for the out, but...]

I—can't lift him myself... [she means Miyamura, since the two of them should be able to get Jin] ...b-but I...want to help...

[gyakusatsu]

{Misora will take Jin's feet, but looking over at Tiki before she lift up:]

I'll send Mahiro back to help you with him in a minute, alright? Don't attempt to move him by yourself, Tiki.

[Turning back to Mahiro, she nods and lifts Jin's legs up out of the water.]

[irrationalities]

[Right, here they go. It's not too far of a distance and between the both of them it shouldn't be hard to get Jin's body back on terra firma. Once that's done, Mahiro doesn't actually need a reminder to go retrieve Miyamura's body.

When he reaches Tiki, he speaks up.]

Get out of here and let us handle it. Go hang out with your buddies or something.

[presomnia]

[nnnGNNGHHHGHGHHH she'll get out of Mahiro's way for body-carrying but. but. she doesn't want to just leave and give up?]

If there's anything else to find over here, I can help look...

[corpses are a bad time but she wants to be good and helpful, this is terrible, murdergames are the worst]

[gyakusatsu]

[Damn it, Mahiro, stop making Tiki feel useless!! Misora will come back to help lift Toranosuke out of the water, briefly scowling at Mahiro.

She looks at Tiki with an encouraging nod, however.]

That'd be very helpful, Tiki. There may be more evidence near by that could help us figure things out. But be careful, okay? There may be something like a knife in the water and I dnn't want anyone else getting hurt.

[With that, she grabs Toranosuke's legs and says a little less cordially to Mahiro:]

Alright, let's move.

[irrationalities]

[Okay but that would be expecting him to have manners and we can't have that--

Anyways heave ho, here goes Miyamura's body.]

You're alright with letting her investigate around a bunch of corpses?

[gyakusatsu]

]Flatly. Oh. So. Flatly:]

I'm more okay with that than you having a submachine gun.

[Tra la la, Miyamura's body can join Jin's at the river bank.]

We're both right here to supervise, at any rate.

[presomnia]

Okay. I'll be careful. [She seems to settle, at any rate, at being able to help—if there's a knife, she could find it, make sure no one else gets hurt...

anyway supervising is going to mean watching while she just kind of. fidgets where she's standing in the water a little. takes a big breath. dunks her whole head in the water

like she's gonna resurface and get right back to work, but here's your investigator, everybody]

[irrationalities]

[um

Just turns to look at Misora.]

...You were saying?
